Verdict

IXIGRECZED shaped as though back in good order with blinkers on when sixth here in March and with this drying ground expected to suit, she could be the way to go. Itaintmebabe has joined Gordon Elliott so an improved performance would come as no surprise, with Kilbarry Ce Ce also of some interest eased in class.
